THE ADDICT / ATTIC [homophones] read comments
THE ADDICT / ATTIC
No light in the addict / attic
And the handrails , preformed to contradict
The safety , I have ask of it
I place my hand to balance my weight
Loose screws singing ?
And each step has it’s own sound and meaning
I am trying to temper my movements
Or stop my heart from beating
Separating my conscious from my soul
Excusing my mind form , believing
Noninclusive capacity of my world
Encompassing what little of my life I control
These steps , that I climb
Are the thoughts of my day in time
The handrail , that balanced my weight
Is the resolve a solitude
The equations , I must face
In the addict / attic
I figure ,my next day
In the addict
Pages’
Wrote
Turned
Saved
Reexamined, when the handrail and the steps debate
Supporting the foundation
Of questions that I must face
OK this was my crazy attempt to twist words that are homophones [ADDICT /ATTIC]. I wanted the read to think [basically were dose a addict go to use , but the attic may be anywhere his/her room ,basement etc.] so I thought if I were to use attic somewhere in the poem in would have been confusing. This was my first try at this style , and the vodka was helping me [Big smile].
